Thank you for visiting the Color Dare! We hope you will find some time to play along with us this week. I really enjoyed looking through the entries from the Goldrush/Topiary challenge; Sheila will be posting the winners soon.

This week we are showcasing one of our new paper packs: Skylark. The colors are:

JuniperLagoonSweet LeafSkylark Yellow

If you don't have the Skylark paper, feel free to use similar colors. Skylark yellow is a sort of greenish-yellow, but feel free to use Buttercup or Sunkiss Yellow if you have them.

I made a Level 2 layout that I found on Jeanette Lynton's blog. I changed a couple of things, but for the most part it is the same. I really like the Dimensional Elements compliments that come with this pack! You can read more about it on my blog.

Our guest designer this week is Arlene Bonsma. She used these soothing colors to make a pretty sympathy card:

Thank you all who played along last week. We have quite a following on our Facebook page, and it is growing. Please visit us and like us at facebook.com/colormyheartcolordare! Thank you as well to Michelle who stepped in and got the post set up for me last week while I was sick. It's hard being 33 weeks pregnant with the stomach flu!

Sheila will have last week's winners posted soon.

This week, we are daring you to use two secondary colors:

Topiary

Goldrush

As always, feel free to use any neutrals with these colors.

I used the retired Splendor paper pack (what little scraps I have), to create this Spring layout. Not that I'll have pictures for it anytime soon! You can read more about it on my blog.

Our guest designer this week is someone special in the CTMH world. You've all probably heard of her: Vicki Wizniuk! I always appreciate her clean, eye-catching, and visually stimulating artwork. She made a super-fun pop-up card for Father's Day:

Challenge Rules

Welcome to the Color My Heart color dare! We're so glad to have you! Here's what you do: Create a project using the featured colors. You may use any products to participate, but we would like you to use Close To My Heart products and colors. Your project can be pretty much anything as long as you made it yourself. Examples are: scrapbooking layouts, cards, 3D items and altered items.

You may combine as many challenges as you want, but please make sure you use ALL and ONLY the featured colors listed in our challenge. If you don't have the exact colors, just use the closest you have. If you have additional colors you will be disqualified from that challenge.

Although not pictured in each challenge graphic, you can use Black and White freely on any Challenge unless the challenge says "No Black" or "No White".

Last challenge of each month will be a Tic-Tac-Toe Board Challenge...MUST use and identify the three colors in a row of your choice; however we will allow any or all other colors from the Challenge Board to be included.

Take a photo of your project, upload it to your blog or online gallery, and link your post. You must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. When you write your Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest, SplitCoast, Instagram) identify the products that you use in your creation. Please include a link to our site and our challenge photo on your blog post. A new challenge will be posted every Friday...You have two weeks to link your work so there will always be an overlapping challenge. Challenges close on Thursday (9PM Central)
